Shook by the amount of love she herself was getting despite not doing as much, Bai Yan’s face was all full of guilt and apology: “Di Cang, I’m sorry… . ”
“You don’t have to say sorry . I only don’t want you to be sad, that’s all . For that goal, I’m willing to give my everything for you!”
Hearing the dialogue between the couple, First Elder who had originally wanted to speak up began to hesitate . It’s no secret that two souls are unable to occupy a single body, it would create too much conflicting interests, let alone a resenting grudge from a past life . However, that doesn’t mean the others here are aware of this fact .
“Sire…” The guard who came earlier to report the little steambun’s condition spoke again, his body shaky from discomfort: “The prince has lost his mind… . Would you like to go see him?”
Like before, Di Cang didn’t pay too much attention to the message that’s meant for him, but that doesn’t mean Bai Yan wouldn’t . Right after the palace guard made that report, the woman immediately jumped down from her husband’s arm and shouted: “Why are you still standing there for, hurry and lead the way!”
“Yes, Queen . ” The poor guard complies and wipes the sweat from his face .
It’s always like this whenever Her Highness is around . The king will ignore the prince and focus only on the queen . Thankfully Her Highness is a normal mother, otherwise the prince will be too pitiful… .
inside the room .
Bai Xiachen had calmed down from his rampaging state by this point and was huddling in the corner of his bedside, staring mindlessly at the air like some damaged product . Thankfully this troublesome picture didn’t last long because his ears perked up as soon as they picked up the familiar footsteps he’s been so accustomed to .
“Mother!” He bolted for the door and nearly crashed right into Bai Yan’s body . Fortunately his eyes were sharp and noticed the big bump along the belly, that made him stop in the nick of time and returned to his well-behaved and happy self in the past .
Di Cang followed right from behind his wife there . When he saw the wagging tail picture of his son, this bias father couldn’t deny he felt a bit of relief from this . The only blemish he had to complain about was the little guy’s reddish eye, it’s the sign that he’s not alright and this peace was only temporary .
Bai Yan on the other hand didn’t care so much and only knew her boy was safe before her eyes . Bending down, she gives him a huge warm hug without saying anything .
“Mother, what’s the matter? I can’t breathe!” Turning red in his little face, the boy was apparently suffocating under those arms .
“Just now they said you lost your mind, that scared me to death . Thank goodness your fine…”
“Oh, that bastard was trying to take over my body again . I kicked him out as soon as I can because I know he will make you sad Mother . ”
Under normal circumstances, that pang of resentment wouldn’t be able to overcome the real Xiachen, that was unless he got stimulated by some sort of traumatic event . In that case, anything was up for grabs .
Going numb inside, Bai Yan wanted to slap herself for the failure: “Xiachen, no matter what happens you will always be mother’s son, you understand? I don’t care if it’s that version of you, or this version, I don’t care . ”
“No,” the little steambun unexpectedly shakes his head in refute . “Mother, just now me and that bastard saw you in our dream . He was relatively normal until he took control of my body . I can tell he was very angry and might even hurt you because he won’t be able to recognize anyone . I’m afraid he will end up doing something I will regret…”
Bai Yan had nothing to add to that because she didn’t know what to say . Just the memory of that dark version would bring excruciating heartache to the woman herself, especially those sorrowful and sad eyes . It’s pounding and ripping at her inside .
“Anyways Mother, why is your tummy so much bigger as soon as I wake up? Is my sister about to come out?” That said, the boy’s contrasting red and blue eyes were sparkling with lustering light like the stars in the sky .
